the sillouhette does look similar to the 1911 tho dont it?
it's like this, colt and sig sauer both have 1911s, they are the same model made by different companies it is a case of same gun made by different people
glock and pf45 are SIMILAR but not the same and internals are different, they are made using the same concepts but are not compatible
i know a milion and one people make 1911's, but im saying a lot of the pistols look very similar
im a gun nut too, i understand all these guns work differently and have different calibers, but they look similar
i'm just saying dont call everything a glock
im saying it looks like one
were arguing about what the busy bee looks like
im saying a lot of the different sidearms look similar, and it looks like a pf45/glock kinda thing
its a usp
all striker polymer pistols do suffer from looking like glock brand glocks (TM) we dont oficially have in game usable
no
sorry your cod is in another castle
the base gun looks like a pf45
where do i spent my nsa tech
it is an pf45 i can spoil you in that
smol table outside descent
eevee how do i get a guaranteed recon cache from descent
you do descent a bunch and get one eventually
loop 30 or something
the descent terminal, just nearby you can buy shit
smol table
by the WH entrance its to the right of the door, by the castle entrance its above the entryway by that woman i forget her name
huh
oh its just the shd watch
what
i was at castle
above the entrance
castle have one too?
wouldnt do it til you pass nemesis
HVT makes it longer to reach nemesis
i'll try again tmr
i just came up with another cursed idea for my big raid i made
just randomly full on landmines
Good morning America
I have a feeling that it's gonna be a wonderful day
you and me both. i just had my teeth cleaned and made an appointment for a tooth extraction because theres an infection at the bottom of the root of a tooth that has a root canal on it and its eating into the jaw bone slowly
which is not that good of a day except i have to pay for none of it bc my mother works at the dentist
Who knows how to install PTS help please
can't right now, there is no PTS ongoing
i think you might be mixing it up with rainbow six that i think has PTS going on today or tomorrow
Isnt it chameleon is better than st elmos? Cham gives crit stats and elmo just a shock ammo? Correcy me if im wrong. Im new.
Chameleon is for crit builds
Its better but there will still be people who say St elmo is better just because it was the meta
And its better cause u can have 2 Vecs in ur slots
One being the SMG with the crit chance attribute and then the chameleon which is classified as an Assault rifle despite being an exact copy if the vector platform
Just with 21% damage to health
Yeah
Smgs come with crit chance as their second attribute but ARs have damage to health
And it keeps the high fire rate I assume
what kind of lmg is sleipnir
LMG
is it an mg5?
Awesome thank you for the tip. I was just thinking wouldnt we want crit stats than shock ammo? If you can kill it fast then we dont need the shock?
oh yeah MG5 thought u ment smthn else lol
no shit which one, mg5, gr9, m60, what
MG5 yeah
Yeah I was also thinking the same thing on lady death than ouroboros.
whats its named perk
Ouro is also a vector lmao
Perfect frenzy, every 8 bullets fire rste increases
Standard frenzy is 10
damn i was hoping it was steady
Nuh uh
ill have ot get a normal mg5 and improve it from there
Im missing out a bit on “vector” sorry. Ama noob haha. What is it and where do i see it
make it steady, give it a 50 round expansion, optimize its damage buff, and kit it out with crit gear
Go for a negev or something else
the vector refers to hte base gun of the exotic, specifically now a Kriss Vector
Thanks appreciate it. Ill have to read more then.
The small small one with low ammo count
the lady death and ouroboros are based off the Kriss Vector, a high rof submachine gun
Nah lady death isnt
lady deaths an mp5 aint it
MP5 type
Im on hardcore I cant see them rn, except Elmo
Which I GOT 2 OF IN A ROW AND I DONT WANT OT
ignore this, ouroboros is a kriss vector, mp5 makes lady death
Ouroburos is off tactical vector but it has way more then a 19 round magazine
with no magazine size attachments
i added a 12x to my tac vec
depending on what slots ive got i may add a scope to my mg5
No zoom scope is better
im choosing mg5's cause they have great base damage and only 50 less rpm
Unless if its the crit chance scope and you have some form if weapon handling
Use my build
i might add a little bit of a zooming scope
It turns any slow fire rate gun into. G o o d
no, im using coyote striker and a ceska glove
Auto shotty becomes flak gun
lefty is used to make stacks then swap to lmg and lay into whatever you believe no longer deserves to exist
i wonder, is there an exotic AA-12
No
is there an exotic auto shotgun?
No
or a semi with decent fire rate?
Only semi
is it literally just sweet dreams or scorp
Scorpio, And the 2 SPAS-12s
gettign a busy bee seems like my best chance for a good exotic to run with this build
same with an RPK
just noticed I changed a stat on a chest but was then not allowed to transfer obliterate, does that mean I have to keep looting until it comes with chc and chd as standard
RPK is more an LMG than the L82
or until you get a chc/chd and obliterate on it, then change the other stat to the one you didnt get
Yeah
like if you got chd and obliterate, add chc
You can only augment 1 part
hardly
Just gave my maxed out M249 frenzy
whats the best lmg to make steady
good thing though is that I saw I now have 60 crit
im thinking mg5
gr9, no real contest.
you said mg5 is also a good example
cause it has higher base damage than gr9 alongside better fire rate
And like 150 rounds less
just looted obliterate but I would have less chances if I picked ceska and not general chest to find an obliterate
mg5 caps out at 100 rounds, but yeah it's better with Fast Hands.
GR9 looks like someone took it from Fallout 4
wait is mg5 only 100 bullets with the upgrade from gunner?
50 base + 50 mag.
gr9 was added....several years later, so it's definitely a creep up in mag size over time.
I had to reroll my St Elmos like 7 times to get DTTOOC and my friend who is new to the game got St Elmos from Countdown exotic crate and on his first try got DTTOOC
doesnt the gr9 have a scope by default
mod slots, mostly.
I am happy for him, but kinda salty ngl lol
hey riven, does gr9 have a scope from the factory?
Maybe ill check
Secondary weapons stats and talents are only independent on that weapon right? It doesnt apply to main weapon?
Those 7 exotic comps will come back quick
Just in case this wasn't corrected, Chameleon is absolutely not better than Elmo.
chameleon is an smg with 21% damage to health not an Assault rifle
What are the chances I get a MG5 Infantru with frenzy wtf
I like the Cham', but its Talent and lack of range just makes it kinda overall not a good choice.
It's talent is crazy
Yeah I just realized the amount of stacking it needs to gain the buff too. Thanks. (Forgot about the other stats too.)
There's that, but its also lost pretty much instantly.
Ok so, Infantry and Normal MG5 has no difference I can tell
refreshes out of combat
Oh absolutely. I'm getting to the point where I have some pretty good rolls on my exotics, so when I get new drops, my existing are better and I just dismantle for the exotic comp
the gr9 looks like its got a big, long scope on it off the bat
as I said, mod slots.
Oh wait I see it now
Gr9 can run perfect focus
Guess I never noticed I never put a muzzle on my Slepinir
infantry gets more slots but its slightly worse at base
My next adventure is trying to get a Ceska chest to drop with red core, CHC and CHD so I can recalibrate the talent for Vanguard or Obliterate and optimize the rolls
Infantry is the better choice overall, since Mod Slots are fairly powerful additions to any crit build.
its gonna be a loooong time before that drop happens. Odds of getting a Ceska chest to drop in countdown even with targetted loot set to Ceska with those 3 specific rolls is a low chance I'd imagine
hey riven, what mod slots does a gr9 have
Not as long as getting one pfe 13% mod
id imagine muzzle mag and forend
Uh 4, so that would probably be mag, muzzle, underb and I guess the scope is locked.
I don't really care for the gr9 that much, I'm sure someone can go ingame and check.
nice, what mods would you recommend putting on it for a dps build
If you're going for a crit build, the setup is pretty much always the same:
crit chance everywhere, and biggest mag size you have.
that's the named gr9
probably a big supressor and a +50 mag, with a crit laser
is there a crit muzzle?
Yep, all categories have a crit muzzle.
If you want to check for yourself, go to your Crafting Table and see what you're missing.
wit hsteady youll ignore reloading and just keep laying into enemies
I make up for damage per shot with pure firerate and reload speed from Striker
It works and sounds cool while firing at god knows how much RPM
i have hella damage per shot, never reload, and have tons of firerate
soon even more fire rate once i have gunner
the chatterbox is a hilarious gun because its literally just the no full auto in the buildings meme
They're using BK, they need all the DPS boost that they can get.
I use Striker + Umbra
im not using bk for long
Did you lose a bet?
ill have a steady gr9 soon
I make myself do this
Bad Karma
the bullet king
uhhhh
Bad karma lmao
i wouldn't touch that thing with a 10 foot pole
it never reloads and its an IWI negev, so it has fire rate out the ass
there are far better options
yeah but you're losing the dps of striker
No use arguing.
thats because you cant hold a gun steady, i lvoe this thing, and hopefully my steady gr9 will be even better
and you aren't benefitting much from umbra
i have a police m4
that does 750k per hit
The great thing about Striker is that it helps bad guns fire fast enough for the lack of damage and utility to not be so noticeable.
They think its funny, and refuse to swap because "its funny"
i kill things 3x as fast as you
And rof = stability. Op combo
not only that its great for never reloading because it triples your damage as you fire
well no, im trying a different gun because riven tells me it can become even funnier
uhhh
Wait wait wait, triples your damage. We are going to need to see hard numbers for that one.
Ugh.
since when did bullet king triple in dmg
with the chestplate it gets to 200% bonus
striker chest?
The only way BK can triple in damage is if you throw 3 of them at an enemy.
even still it's only hitting like 800k max
diminishing returns says its probably not 3x damage
yeah striker chest, 100% is doubled damage, 200% is tripled
no lmg is going past 1mil
Literally throw or
and damn bullet king is weakest
@wooden hazel Put it on a catapult, gold is heavy.
Yeah
100% is not double damage
How to take out Marauder:
Step 1 - Catapult 3 BKs in their direction
Step 2 - Reward
boom
it means you're doing 100% of your estimated dmg
ive been told a steady gr9 is just as reload averse as my golden gun, but can be painted a normal color, comes with a cool scope, and can have better crit chance
200% is double
but bullet king is swag
no, adding 100% damage from 100 striker stacks makes it so you deal double damage total
100 stacks with the backpack adds 100% damage, since each stack is worth 1% damage
The fact that BK is based off that dumb Riker boss in the WONY story side-mission is kind of funny.
Bullet Queen, for those who can't recall.
I have turned a semi shotgun into an auto shotty
i'm gonna go to bed instead
rip duchess
its adding your base damage to your base damage, and having the chestplate doubles how many stacks you can own at once
having all 200 stacks means your adding your base damage to your base damage twice, dealing 3 base damages per bullet
Not the same person, she was a Hyena.
but RIP that gun emplacement.
i need to see numbers sir
Hyenas in WONY story? I forgot
the backpack makes one stack worth 1% of your base damage, having 100 stacks means 100% more damage
Riker in WONY story, you're referencing one of the bosses in DUA.
but I understand how its confusing. There's a lot of generic names.
the chestplate makes your max stacks double, meaning your max damage increases doubles
you repeating yourself isn't showing me numbers
Duchess is a named riker leader unit in wall street
like record the video of your dps at max stacks
im tellign you what the perk says
each stack adds 1% damage, and i can own 200 stacks, which means 200% more damage
rivens save me
Right yeah, but I did say the side-story one, not the main Wall Street mission.
200% more means triple, since 100% more means double
what did i get myself into
you are also misunderstanding how the DPS formula works, but thats a whole other story
im talking solely the perk itself, not other increases
We can read the perk, but if you make a claim like "triple the damage" and then try to prove its true, actual proof is required.
div2 is very math heavy, it's important to get the actual details right.
if i have a gun that deals 1 damage, and i have a hundred stacks, it deals 1 + its own base damage, which means it deals 2 now
i can get on and video me doing more damage than bullet king with my hybrid striker
and a gr9
having 2 times more stacks means your adding double the amount of damage, tripling total damage dealt off the perk itself
a Ninja build would probably do more damage than a BK setup.
and those are awful.
we know how the math should work, but we also know that Div2's damage system is a bit wonky and doesnt exactly work how you'd think.
i deal about 250k-300k without full stacks
bro rivens
one of my buddies does 900k with striker ninja bike fenris and picaro
good for them, they have to reload
if your only response is having to reload
then sir you'd be getting kicked out of every raid group
and thats with bk, my stuff is gonna get better soon, supposedly
riven says that the gr9 is better than the bk in terms of damage, can be just as reloadless, and has a cool scope and mod slots
lets just stop this, i'm not in the mood to deal with this today, just drop the conversation, go take a nap or somethin
💀
Hey Seraphite
hoi
Managed to jam 162 rounds into a Slepinir
I guess the right word would be shoved
true
I was maximising ammo capacity to see if I can successfully shove more rounds into a Double barrel
Answer: Physics said no
Isnt it hard capped?
Sadly yeah
He's based from a glitched boss from Div 1 no? XD i know cause i killed him a million times
Not sure about revolvers though
Kind of out of the loop here, whats special about bullet king from d1?
It wasnt a weapon, it was an npc
and was a sort of loot cave glitch
I know
About the boss
Whats special about him compared to the other 50 named guys
he was like 20m from a checkpoint
so kill him, die to NPCs, spawn 20 meters from him and repeat
it was a loot cave situation
Wasnt there another boss right at the east side of dz1? And another boss right outside of the safe house on bottom right side of the map?
Im pretty sure thats how i farmed my Vector in div 1 XD
he was the closest and easiest one that i remember
I could use that
what situation like that repeated on Div2 so we can have an exotic named after it in the next game? 😂
What
floor 10 maybe?
exotic MPX for the next game, 10th floor
the talent would be that it shoots random status bullets, since floor 10 can spawn any faction c:
im so salty, i lost an exotic, how is it possible exotics you dont pick up get sent to the mailbox or something -_-
Faye Lau themed breaching shotgun
We already got a holster
Its shit
Unless if you are running a ton of Status affects and The courier lmao
then its somewhat useful in the fact that it just isnt
Can't wait div 3 to farm for Ouroboros 2
No
5000 Rpm
God no
cause better engine, more rpm allowed 😎
Nah
well the only ceska chest I looted in that countdown has chc and chd
I'd love to manually tap into a turret and control it
yes me too, or the drone, in watch dogs 2 you could do that
control the little car thingy and the drone c:
well problem is being exposed
got a grolled Sokolov chest !! 😄 hopefully that's nice for some build with ouro XD
has obliterate too :3
If I dont have ouroboros yet, whats the best smg to use? Lady Death or Dark Winter?
A high-end one like CMMG Banshee, mp5, or mpx.
the Exotic SMG's are kinda lackluster overall.
Backfire is god, Because then I can stop playing
Because you bled out, yep.
Eagle Bearer on a budget
As much as I love Dark Winter, it's definitely subpar comparatively to those.
for the ones I mentioned, throw on Strained as the talent and of course DTOOC as the 3rd attribute, it's pretty much the meta right now outside of Oreo.
Tf is Dark Winter
Named Vector with perfect Killer.
Killing an enemy with a critical hit grants 50% critical hit damage for 10 seconds."```
Oh
it's fun to use, but overall worse than Strained or Fast Hands.
Oh yeah I have seen it im stupid I thought it was an exotic for some reason
i think chatterbox is fun with Hunter's fury, because you have to be in the range anyways to proc the gearset bonuses so you will most likely gain that RPM from the gun anyways
personally think MPX might be the best SMG in terms of overall stats
Bring back Urban MDR exotic
If banshee/mp5/mpx are the 8/10 end of the SMG's, the rest are kind of in a descending slide.
i mean thompson has some hilariously good damage numbers but awful everything
The Sleigher has high damage
Despite being a toy, its higher damage than the tommy which is its base I think
yeah because it has like 1/3 of the rof
84 compared to 55, yep.
It's also unusably inaccurate.
Still has dropoff lmao
wait what? they actually gave that gun a buff or i'm crazy?
nah My Fire rate build makes up for the ROF
Might make an actual serious build for it
i mean in your build the thompson would still have higher rof
Anything does
the ROF on the Sleigher is actually lower than the G28/scar. I'm not even kidding.
Bruh
unironically, ive gotten a lot of my godrolls from the caches you get by leveling up XD
Yeah for some reason they seem to be weighted towards Heroic difficulty, no matter how you get them.
So they're quite nice.
Sleigher only works tho at point blank ranges
Due to the fact of drop of and the snowballs are slow af
Imma test how Devil's Due work with HF and Ouro 😌 I heard it's quite nice because of the Rpm ouro has
I could fire a shot at 100m and race it to the target and win
im using it on my high end dps
its my go-to dps solo build now
Sleigher actually has higher range than Orea.
I think I need a drink after reading that one.
coffee or tea
It's too early for either, so water it is.
wrong, liquid plutonium
isnt both breakfast drinks?
Thanks. Will check out some of my good rolled smgs on my stash later and work it out. Appreciate it.
Something something Sleigher being viable?
does anyone use oh carol ?
Yeah I do from time to time
I still have my sleigher from last year
do you guys run HF with all reds? o:
Best piece from christmas u want is the mask
what was the mask called
Best thing from Christmas is the santa hunter mask.
Chill Out is the gear mask. (2 mod slots)
yeh I remember the name now
Chill out
Comes with 1 attribute, but 2 Slots
Gila guard
Earlier today I saw someone run, Skill Striker
yeah
reds and a Memento.
nothing quite as fun as having the best of both worlds with HF.
since it works wonders with the shield
And your other skill is alright too. I've taken to using a sticky bomb, but pretty much anything works alright.
Would Skill Striker actually be good?
The guy I saw using it was redless
All yellow
I mean, it kind of defeats the purpose of all that extra fire-rate, but Striker is kind of broken strong right now so no reds would still kill if you're bored enough.
True
MMR Hunters Fury, that's what that reminds me of.
Lol
i think on release striker worked with skills here?
like it buffed turret by accident or i'm just remembering wrong?
now thats bold
i know legendary is more chill than release
still wouldnt go there to joke around with weirdo builds
I have a custom M870, those ones are good shotguns right? for big damage
Close & Personal
yeah
the one with most damage per shot
it used to be double barrel but that was changed
usually in what situation do you change to a shotgun, when you need to kill something very fast? it also staggers a bit right?
well in the shooting range 5 shots kill a named enemy c: idk if that translates the same into the actual open world
actually 3 shots, i forgot to recalibrate it for DTTOOC 🗿
interacting with the lab's final box crashes ur game
well if you can get a headshot with shotguns you delete people
are there achievements for helping via "call for backup"? seems weird that you can instantly find someone helping while lvling 30-40
a patch for reaching Shepard 25
best patch 😄
ah makes sense
guys does my xbox progress transfer to pc?
no
damn, but do my dlcs do?
nope
damnit
thankfully the game does go on pretty heavy sales very often
anyways, im trying to play td2 with the nvidia GeForce now, not it keeps crashing when i connect, anyone got a fix or a reason why it does that?
i have my ubisoft connect account synced with the nvidia account
Is there any error code
I'd contact Nvidia that sounds like it's on their end tbh but could be wrong
maybe its my old mac from 2015
but i played a few different games and had a somewhat smooth experience
wait, hol up, if i own td2 on the xbox, do i also own it on pc?
no
that explains it then
lol
time to pull a sera
@reef reefIs it just me, or did the room brighten up the moment you walked in? Your presence adds a radiant aspect to every corner, and I can't help but be drawn to the captivating beauty you bring
yeah dont do that
gonna go throw up now
my brain needs stimulation
this is so sweet
this is what I use when bored: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
just click repeatedly until you get something interesting
bruh
What is the best way to farm tactical assessments?
bounties
Yeah usually
bro tried to use their agent rizz (not given by the SHD nor ISAC)
😁
💀
I'm really confused about how to get stronger. I've played for hundreds of hours. But have no idea what to build for
Check the spreadsheet in build advice
what build do you want
I'd start with strikers
Just having a list of stuff to get doesn't help :/ cos I never know what classes as good or not
I like skill builds but they are boring to play
Anything really. I Wana get the ouroboros but I got no chance of doing the estate
Strikers then
so let's make a dps build that can handle incursion
Everything on that sheet classes as good
4 piece striker with grupo chest piece and picaro/ceska holster
Just for different content
you fail automatically at anything you dont try 
What stats do I got for? And how do I make it so every stat is full
Optimise
I thought u could only optimise 1 stat tho
And everything rolled to crit chance and damage
You can optimise everything
you can only recalibrate 1 stat, can optimize them all tho
Ahh ok
I just don't know how to decide what piece of gear to use when I get some.
I got coyotes mask from exotic cache. I assume it's decent but idk
there is a spreadsheet pinned to #td2-build-advice
it has a builds tab that can give you some direction on what pieces to look for. all proven builds and regularly updated
I have it saved. I just don't know what most of them mean
wdym by that
i'm not doubting you i wanna understand what you dont understand
or be able to explain it better
should be some other tabs thatll give info on what icons correlate to what gear, also talent descriptions . its very comprehensive
The names of them. Some are easy like
"Drone turret skill build"
But then some are like
"Umbra initiative"
I have no idea what that means
ok, click the link at the end of each line for a detailed breakdown
I never got that myself lol, I probably known it just cant remember
its just what version its updated too
What are incursions?
Nightmares for anyone who plays with a SHD level 5000 who yells at you to use Striker
tu19 is this season
so the build is more of a guide. the suggested guns will have best results but if you dont have the exact items itll still work fine, use what you have until you get something better
its a looter shooter so youll always be getting different gear
Just annoying. I only have 3 exotocs as there is only 1 exotic cache I can get per week
well, thats only until you find out about countdown. you earn credits that can be used to buy exotic caches. 2 challenging runs completed give enough credits for an exo cache
What is countdown?
thats an exo cache every ~30mins. it also has selectable target loot
its a timed , dynamic 8 man mission. ~15minutes per run. its just a dps thing
Oh so it's not a solo thing :/
weekly legendary is one exotic, summit 30 floors is one exotic
every run is slightly different within a set framework of scenarios
then countdown caches, incursions
I can do the 30 summit. But I'm not strong enough for legendary mission
4 agents created is 4 weekly shd projects as well
i'm assuming they're new to the game
asking them to make 4 characters on a dead platform is hard
cuz playstation is relatively dead
no not a solo thing, but its real easy on challenging, just bring dps and follow the group. there is a lot of named and regiular items that drop as well. pretty good quality
Title Update. Each of the builds in the spreadsheet will generally outline what weapons are optimal or make the most sense for a gearset (the green armor peices that have a 2pc, 3pc, and 4pc bonuses that are more than just stats) or combination of highend brandset items (highend being yellow gear items, and brandsets are just the maker of the gear, which changes what stats you get for equipping it)
weekly shd can be completed on a level 30 boosted agent. takes about 10-15 minutes to create each
and its easy storage
i'd rather just play the game
instead of waste time making new characters and mindnumbingly repeat the same wony intro
suggestion wasnt directed towards you. and no wony. its just boosted dc agents, never recreate
If you wanna use your meme builds, do it in solo. The incursions are coop missions and you are expected to not bring your group down. If your damage is low (like it is when using 3pc striker, ninjabag, and 2pc umbra) you will likely be asked to change gear. Have fun, but if your damage is not there, dont throw a fit. Simply keep a 4pc strikers, ceska, coyote's mask build in your inventory and swap to it when its needed.
wony is for shd, which a new agent wont have for a while
I use normal builds in normal games
you dont know you can boost them and stay in dc i guess
what
yeah
No need to be like that
you only need to get to the white house, once each. then use store>addons> boost. option to stay in dc
unless you ask if it's ok to meme around
I am not "Being like that". I am giving you and everyone who reads it a suggestion. A firm one, but a suggestion nonetheless.
a firm handshake intead?
it was an appropriate division reference
I've had way too many people go into the incursion expecting their 2r/2b/2y build with no crit and no shield to shred, just for them to cry here for the incursion's difficulty to be nerfed. Its hard, but can be cleared quite comfortably by a half decent group. Bringing meme builds is never good unless your team is okay with it. Just a waste of time for anyone involved.
I don't have any friends to play with so alot of the group content is a no go for me
Random match
Do you have ps plus? Countdown has matchmaking.
open your group and it will allow ppl to join if they matchmake for random activity
How do I start it? Cos it's not on the map
What level are you?
map > matchmaking > countdown > challenging
Have you finished the Warlords of New York DLC? I may have missed this, only just actually sat down fully.
Alright, the Countdown mission will be on the right side, top of the map, under "Pentco Fairview Power Plant". When you select it, it will have a "Open Countdown Menu" that lets you select the difficulty you wanna search for and a big start button.
just make sure, in countdown its dps. skills get hacked so just a shield, revive hive, or some sort of chem all ok to use
is it different on ps? map > matchmaking has it as an option
if your shd is low expect to get kicked
You will likely have little luck getting into a normal/hard version of Countdown, Challenging and Heroic are harder but much more populated (On PC atleast.)
not likely to get kicked* on challenging
I can't do countdown then. As my build ATM is all skill based and weapons don't do much damage
You still can, just swap all your stuff off of yellow cores. To red, preferably.
skill dmg builds are the least favoured ones in any gamemode in division 2
I don't have any decent red core stats
you don't have any high end brand sets?
farm a little for some striker gear, its really easy to get
like fenris, providence defense, ceska, grupo
Use summit to go for some, should get it pretty quickly. Striker gear is fairly easy to make a build around.
I'm doing summit now. Floor 5 and got 3 striker head pieces. Which are useless to me cos I got coyotes
@lucid haven you did mention you had coyote right. thats great for countdown with striker
also consider not using coyote
why?
if you're going to countdown there's probs at least 5 others using it
so it's redundant
fair
i do less dmg with coyote striker than i do with grupo and picaro
It's the only high red stat gear I have
yeah if mid range a lot grupo is better
Has maxed red core stat and high CHD and high CHC
just farm a bit and youll have something usable. if you need any feedback img permissions are open in #td2-build-advice
high stat doesnt matter. You want the right stats. In this case, you've got it, but in future, as long as its 60% of the way there, its good enough for a starting version.
finally got a oreo roll with dttooc today, time to farm some hunters fury pieces
But what are the right stats. I've never got a piece of gear with both crit hit damage and crit hit chance so how do I determine what's a good roll
If you are following a guide, it will tell you.
They all say CDC and chc but what if an item doesn't have both
Strikers, for example, uses 4pieces of the gearset "Striker's Battlegear" (or w/e its full name is), all with Critical hit damage (since gearset items only have one minor attribute), and 2 other pieces, generally a Ceska piece with Critical hit damage and Critical hit chance and Coyote's mask. There are variations, but they are detailed in the guide.
It's a proof that that person is such a bad player that he can't play with anything but striker.
If an item doesnt have both? If it has one correct attribute and one wrong one, you can use Recalibration to put the correct attribute onto the item. If it is a chestpeice or a backpack it will have a talent, which also needs to be correct, and since you can only recalibrate one attribute or talent on a given item, you have to look for a "2/3" for those peices- which is why some have started to use the Striker's chest more often, due to it having only one possible talent and only one attribute slot.
This guide only says CDC or CHC. Just says which to choose from
Your critical hit chance will cap at 60 percent regardless of where the crit comes from (barring Diamondback, for those listening along), so you want to get to 50% crit chance, and then have every other stat be Critical hit damage.
You dont need to be like that. I'm not gonna tell you again, stop trying to incite a fight.
I have a decent SMG that basically doubles all my damage alone
90% of cases you'll run crit damage in the gearset peices and crit damage and crit chance on the high end peices.
Is lady death a good gun?
it's alright, really good burst damage and fun to move around fast
problem is getting stacks back takes a moment
SMGs have good damage but hefty range penalties. A word of warning, though, never trust the inventory's damage screen, the one that appears when you select one of your weapons. It takes the single hit damage of the selected gun, but ignores ROF. You could have a gun that does 10000000000 dmg but only shoots once a minute. Trash gun, that'd be.
I mean in game. It kills enemies in seconds while others take about 50%+ longer to kill
It's the only gun I have that can keep up damage wise with my skills
Yeah, you are running a skill build, which kneecaps your personal damage in favor of granting more damage to your skills.
When you swap to more red cores you can start to see the difference.
What's the best way to get food? I've almost done the exotic cache donation project. Just need 175 food
oro backfire and darkwinter are the best smgs
chatterbox is also good
i wouldn't use lady death outside pvp tbh
Theres nodes on the map that have like, an opened can icon. Go there, there will be a bunch of food.
Kk thanks
very good with Hunter's fury (And the MP7 is also a good SMG)
I’m almost done with div 1 then I’m going to hop on div 2
Is div 1 worth playing? I've never played it
I think so. Real fun story with friends
a lot more grindy than div 2, no targeted loot, you wont be having a build for a good while c:
Incursions (not falcon lost though) were also fun with a group of friends or skilled players
td1 incursions were fun with classy striker 😂
striker in div 1 still works like it used to be in div 2 at first right? you lose stacks on missed shots
yes
but classified added heal per stack
so you couldnt rly die outside of 1 hits
How do I get matador backpack
Matador is the only piece in the game ive never seen even from Named Caches
😵💫
DZ primarily, but its easier to just farm countdown and buy named caches
just did a dark hours, got a gear dye from the last box
Random thought: I like the fact that the people in this server are willing and happy to help us newbies. Like, easily just now 4 users came along with tips, explanations and pointing out resources to get better at the game and enjoy it.
bro,deactivating fog of war increased my heroic survavility more than playing a Foundry Bulwark Build, these directive things are the biggest bait in the game
lol I just got here, could I get these tips and resources
I boosted a character to keener manhunt and got a character to world tier 1 in DC, but I have no idea what to do now
for one thing, does finishing NY unlock the content on my character who's still in DC?
Separate toons means separate progress. You can share some stuff between them by buying certain stuff in the BoO, but mostly limited to the stash, SHD levels if you have them, and materials.
would it make more sense to take my DC toon to NY before doing higher world tiers in DC?
The true "endgame" starts after finishing the Warlords of NY DLC. People here have recommended to get to the endgame so you can farm the stuff that is worth.
ah, I see; I might end up taking my boosted character back to DC when I finish NY then, instead of doing DC world tier content right away
I got overwhelmed with the build stuff after boosting and wanted to do the story, so I ended up putting way more time on my DC character lol
I'd say yes, because the "journey" from DC to the NY DLC is pretty good and fun, but nothing you get there will really help you once you clear the DLC. Most stuff becomes obsolete, so no reason to farm there.
tragic, but that's how powercreep goes I guess
yep
Yeah. So, just go at your own pace. There's nothing wrong with farming on DC and world tiers before you get the watch, but just know you will eventually ditch everything you got there because the endgame gives you things way more powerful. And that's where the true grind begins.
i remember when wony came out it was kinda sad to throw away your near perfekt gear at lvl 32 😂
oof lol
I'm mostly doing dc stuff to experience that part of the game, since I got my fill of NY in div 1
gonna do the strongholds in DC when I get bored of story stuff in NY
wony doesnt take long
I think I'm 50% done and have put in about 6 hours, and I've been pretty casual about it
well at some point you do wony over and over for "mats" 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, once I reach a decent SHD level, I see myself farming for a level 30 build and then doing WoNY runs whenever I can to get enough materials to at least min max what I have on my main agent.
I feel poor in the game currently.
Boost mats feel like barely a drop in the bucket at this point
I just wish I didn’t crash so often though
having 4 chars alone is already rly good value at 1k shd
When do inculsion reset? What days?
it should reset with everything else week-based, on tuesday
Monday at an odd time. I got my key a few hours ago.
How to start incursion ?
Fast travel to it like you do any other offsite mission.
Honestly speaking Massive needs to take advantage of this appearance mod bug and give us exotic transmog outright
I wanna wear the shiba inu backpack while still running memento
Exotic transmogs would be pretty cool
Data gloves and memento look so cool same with waveform
Or in my case, transmog exotics with apparel event stuff
I have 200 premium credits, can those only be spent on nexus apparal cache keys?
Yeah but idk how much a single key cost, should tell you somewhere.
I think it's 100 ea
Ty
Just would not suggest doing it solo tho.
Yes no solo
I mean it's possible but not advisable for first time ya know.
best talent for ACS?
What are you using it on
You can spend premium credits on any apparel in the store pretty much
shotguns are less locked into talents
Speaking of shotties I tried showstopper in div1 and loved it
as my secondary with strikers build
it's fun
You have a few options but I'd personally just get a rock n roll
awesome thanks, is it okay to have the normal ACS but I can change the talent and just optimize the stats?
50% extended mag so you pretty much get 30 rounds instead
for a normal simple stuff like optmistic works well
is lefty one of the dz ones?
optimist?
Id either roll fast hands or get a lefty
Lefty isn't dz exclusive
ok thx
RnR is
lefty is not DZ i think, only rock 'n roll
RnR drops like crazy from conflict caches though
They are PvP rewards though so same thing
I meant in terms of drop rate
Btw I got my first dark winter in dz as non contaminated drop
I was like holy sh!t my luck
One of rare few times my luck was good
Can you get ninja bike bag from countdown?
Yes
Yes
best talent of these 2? glass canon or obliterate?
This ain't a black or white question lol
gc turns anything into getting 1 shot
Glass cannon if you are a total pro who never takes damage. Obliterate if you are basically everyone.
Even then gc still loses to things like focus
as eevee said, it kinda depends on the rest of the build and your talents/gear pieces.
with Strikers, I'd suggest Obliterate overall, but depending on your gun, could also use something like Spotter if flatline.
Leveling up watch is so god damn tedious
I do have strikers build with fenris chest, coyote and st elmo for countdown farming.
strikers build, memento, the grudge smg for control point.
Perf focus is wonderful for legendary
i love it
awesome, I currently have grupo oblit and just got fenris GC
I had finally found a group with chc &d and gave it to my DZ build
does shield and drone defender help prevent getting 1 shot at when using a glass canon?
Just a heads up: the 10% AR damage from Fenris isn't actually a full 10%.
It's based off your weapon damage before red cores are counted, so the less of them you have the closer to the full 10% it is.
Which is why most builds just recommend Ceska, since it allows you to change the Strikers rolls to CHD, which means your overall damage is higher.
im mostly running unbreak over obliterate 😂 i enjoy the qol to much
ceska also one of, if not the only piece with such good 1 piece stat value
with the 10% chc
12 to 15% chd isnt much diff
6 to 10 chc is quite higher diff
Anyone know where I can find a list of the icon meanings on gear? Ik that a highlighted slot means it's maxed. But what does a little arrow mean?
does it also do the same as the sokolov SMG?
the arrows on tha stat bar are for your current stat library
Sokolov, Fenris, Airaldi, etc, etc.
all of them are not actually the true "%" damage buff.
div2 maths are weird.
I mean on the little icons next to gear. If it's red and has a little up arrow next to it. Does that mean it's better than what I have or worse?
Basically applies to any brand set that gives 10% weapon-specific damage
And also Douglas and Harding giving the 20%, which is why I didn't say 10% :p
div2: we really like caveats.
True forgot about that one lol
I see gotcha thanks!
it helps if you know which affixes are multi and which are additive to give you a general idea
What's the best way to get electronics?
shd 
East mall iirc has the most materials boxes
So I just go and grab them?
Pretty much
Solar farm cp has a whole bunch of boxes
Hyena's are a nice and simple way to get them if you want to get some exp at the same time.
It cost 60 for 1 recalibration DX each box only gives like 5
And deconstructing gearset items grants you 4 blue material each so it's a nice way too
i wouldnt craft the recal speficic things, esp not early on
I mean to put better stats on my gear
If you check your Inventory and tab over to "Resources", you can see which faction drops what material.
Black Tusk being a kind of "catch all" and giving them from all factions.
How do I reset control points? Cos I have them all
Same menu you change global difficulty
map should have a button for it iirc
Ahh thanks
cp give 4 of those optimize mats you are looking for no?
They give recon data yes
@hybrid ore what's your advice on farming resources
i usually just lvl an alt if i need alot of mats 😂 so i tend to forget best farming methods for those mats
Fair, but I don't really have that kind of huge luxury, only level 2k
and im saying that as fairly low 1.2k shd
Leveling a new agent through wony so tedious
Shd 2k just run through new york
And takes hours
im 1250 ish and its worth it
Especially solo
call for backup, 2h today and im 38.5
Not when you've played 8 times
There's no easy way to farm resources at low level
i think its my 6th total alt
Honestly? One of the easiest ways to get resources ouside of a WONY run is still just running Countdown and junking everything that you can't donate.
40-60 total pieces per Challenging run gets you quite a lot.
What would u suggest I target for loot? Sets or just random
Do you know if some level 40 friends can join me while doing the WoNY runs? As in, can they join my game world and help me farm some nice stuff, like exotics, at that level to efficiently clear said runs in future agents?
How do u farm wony?
ar till you have elmos or brand/gear sets that you need
Check out your Expertise tab and see what you haven't maxed out yet. Pick whichever one you like and then just work on those.
3 solutions in one if you also still need to fill in your Recal Library.
lvling an alt to 40 gives you a new unspend watch with same shd lvl
Expertise? @hybrid ore
@vestal fossil why is that good tho if it doesn't give u more levels
Scavenging bonus from the watch.
lets say you are shd 1000
Easy materials.
thats 250 points into mats
If you melt down the gear you get during the WONY run, you'll also likely have enough for the Exotic cache before you delete the char, so you might as well hit that up.
ye its not worth early on , its rly good once you hit 1k
Ok, thx
with 4 chars, any lvl past 1k is worth 4
My inability to kill anything in challenging countdown is really demoralising
@hybrid ore what's expertise?
even more needy then optimize 😂
What does it do
slowly adds bonus base dmg to weapons and bonus base armor to gear
1% of some stat per level
max is around 24? currently, not sure
Where do I see them?
Ahh ok
Max expertise is 24
how do you get ironwork materials? is it only from the raid
@dire flicker Yep, only from Iron Horse.
how many drop and from what? the bosses?
Mainly from the key caches
coyote mask or fox prayer kneepads? on a striker build and st elmo?
coyote ceska
Kicking someone doesn't exist in my world.
Wait one week for refresh
Game automatically gives you one upon finishing the incursion.
You can only get one per week per character
Please dont tell me keys are still not fixed
Mine reset
Just go to the invitation and click down to matchmake, rewards should list a key
2 questions, do they still ban people in this game and can I get banned if a dz cheater somehow effeted my shd level (killed a guy to the point he toggled, then all of a sudden i jumped about 40 shd levels)
Marble ?
Typo, ty. Matchmake menu shows whether you will get key or not as a reward
was doing the plaza time trial yesterday and this tank must've hit me with one of the worst 40 mils I've ever experienced in my life. completely merked my shield and it did NOT regenerate at all.
bro must really not like shields 💀💀
💀
Shields take a lot more damage from explosives since the nerf, it's actually safer to put the shield away when you're about to get hit by one to avoid the disorient (and then bring it back out for any follow up bullets)
oh no, it's not that the shield got obliterated...
it's that said shield was unusable after it was destroyed. no cooldown timer. just grayed out.
Ok yeah, that's not normal
Yeh a skill can gray out if you get stagger while deploying it or you have latency issues
Why would you get banned if someone else toggled cheats?
Also, you dont just jump 40shd levels...
They have stated that they would monitor for unnatural shd gains and would issue bans accordingly.
Recent descent glitch is a good example...
Select another skill then select the shield again. It can grey out if you also try and deploy while mantling or deploying too quick when coming out of an elevator
To clarify what i meant, I killed a cheater and I suddenly jumped 40 shd levels
probably a bug
I understood what you meant and I stick to what I said... you dont gain shd like that.
If its some visual bug then it should correct with a log... if not then idk.
I dont really accept that it just jumped from killing someone in the dz...
Believe what you want, its what happened, got constant notifications of +350000 xp then noticed I had 40 new watch upgrades
What lol
Put in a ticket with ubi then 🤷♂️
anything good for vendors
Countdown vendor has the gift backpack which you can easily work with
i see that
The Gift selling at countdown vendor with good rolls. Don't miss it 🙂
@full zinc hey just letting you know im gonna be playing through wony like 15 more times in the near future if you ever want to lend a hand when you're available. i net about 3750 watch points per run at my current level. I spent like over 2000 of those points sofar on printer filament to level up expertise and it only got me up by like 1.5-1.75 exp levels
Will do brother. Check with vendors weekly as well. It's only 30shd worth of cash to level named items that are on sale 🍻
ping me too, i'll help! paying it forward.
for sure, thanks!
does ravenous drop from targeted loot :3
Nope, only way to get it is Iron Horse or an incredibly small drop chance from the DZ, which is not effected by TL.
o ok
0.024% chance to be exact
distinction without a difference
from the DZ is actually less than 1% right? xD
oh here, oof
I would panic so bad if i got it 😩
You have gotten eb in dz 👀
You should only troll the bullies. Bullying totally works amazingly well so it should only be used for justice
yesterday I got a gear dye from my first go in dark hours
☝
Using dev Powers 
only rogue people for the most part
people got pissed the hell off because i mortared them spawn camping a checkpoint and 4v1ed their manhunt
Rip I wasted all my countdown currency yes
What's the fastest way to level up?
open world heroic with 4-5 directives
What about if I can't do heroic?
bring friends for bonus group xp
Don't have any :/
What activity tho? Cos I can't even do legandary let alone heroic
legendary is harder than heroic
just pick your favorite place to roam in open world, call for backup, and when someone joins call for backup again
i don't know what it's like on consoles but on PC the group will fill up in under 10 min
if someone leaves call for backup again
I don't do the open world so idk what stuff to do
🤷♂️
Legendary is way more difficult then heroic lol
All the directives fuck my build up DX
run as many as you can handle
I hate when people fill up the lobby with backup calls..... It furthers the scaling and then I gotta carry 3 people not 1 lol
MAN UP
I can't run any. Other than maybe the ammo ones
Sounds like you need a build first.
I've got a build. But I need XP and resources for optimization
look up builds on the build spreadsheet. pick what you like, farm for it on challenging. it doesn't have to have max rolls - just the correct attributes. with that you will cut through heroic like butter.
optimization isn't what allows you to crack heroic
then they fast travel to the white house
if you struggle with heroic then something's wrong with the build
(or play style, but probably build)
I'm using the striker build from the spreadsheet. Everything is as the spreadsheet says it should be
Try out memento with a blue core or two
stick that on ur average striker build
Messiah for solo play
are you running striker chest?
I can't do another build. Put all of my resources into this one. It works I just need to optimise my stats but I can't as I don't have any electronics
Striker 4 piece with coyote mask and ceska chest
It's not another build it's striker with more survivability
The striker pieces especially aren't worth optimizing since it's far easier to just farm gear with better rolls than it is to farm the materials for optimizing
I've got high rolls. But they ain't perfect so
Yeah you probably have a false idea that optimizing and 1k SHD are going to be night and day but correct rolls and learning the game will probably go so much further.
Chc is probably the most important thing to optimize
I have 57% chc and 80% chd
Damn
how many chc mods are you using?
With coyotes mask you can free up a chc mod
I'm using all chd mods. All my chc comes from gear and weapons
So why can't you do heroic?
yea 80% chd isn't great but you should be able to clear solo heroic w/ that
Cos my weapon damage is loe
Ahh for heroic if you are tanking you are doing it wrong
what weapon?
pleasesaybulletkingpleasesaybulletkingpleasesaybulletkingpleasesaybulletking
At Elmo's engine
Sleigher 
Saint
That is a very good weapon
Elmo is fine. So you can't kill stuff is what you are saying?
Takes almost all 70 bullets to kill 1 elite
How the heck you got 80% chd then
What u mean?
yea something doesn't add up
elmos has 20% chc and 20% chd off the rip
Low SHD
That's why I need optimizing
Are you getting what your crit numbers are from the stats page?
Optimizing has nothing to do with this
I guess you can share your build in #td2-build-advice
How do I do that?
The only thing worth optimizing is if you have a ceska chest with crit chance, damage, and the chest talent you want
Take a photo and share it in the channel
He might not have coyotes so maybe a groupo mask too 👀
A photo of what?
Tha actual gear screen?
Yeah
I'm getting 54%c 129%d using the build website with 0 shd and using his build(supposedly). Using unnecessary chc mod because he probably doesn't have max rolls
i actually despise the first Incursion encounter because it feels lazy af "Just throw as many red circles and ads" Truly Impressive, however i think Wright and Lovebirds are quite fun fights c:
well the lovebirds fight remind me of ornstein and smough c: they even made them so one is fat and the other is skinny
Is that supposed to be a magnet or did your c key break?
What to do I just returned to the game
What SHD? When did you last play? What do you like to do? Solo player?
shoot things, if possible at their face and pick up what they drop
17 and I’m not sure
So you've completed WONY and are level 40 and 17 SHD correct?
Just wanna make sure you aren't just level 17 cause the suggestions for what you would do are completely different.
Well if you are in fact SHD 17 you'd just work on builds and find content you enjoy. Setting goals helps too but you might need people to help reach those. Like completing all of the legendary missions, getting all the hunter mask, or getting all the raid exotics. Some of this you can match make for but raids you cannot. Some really enjoy summit, countdown, open world activities, or even doing backup calls. I personally like to help people run raids, incursions, and just general help, but with friends I speed run content in the game and solo I'll do backup calls or farm open world.
I just been running countdown for weapons I have umbra initiative strikers heartbreaker sets
Striker and Heartbreaker are quite good sets, strikers moreso. Umbra is fun, but ultimately does fall a bit behind due to needing to do its "dance".
😂
In #td2-build-advice theres a spreadsheet with a bunch of build guides, all good enough for heroic. Follow one of those guides close enough and you'll be doing legendary in no time.
Are we getting dlc past year 5?
what is the max expertise level?
We have one slated for soon-ish, but i cant remember the approx timeframe its supposed to drop.
Time to equip my Incursion build for today!!! Bullet King!!!
for reals tho i see more bullet kings in incursion than any other game mode in the game idk why
24 atm, each season it will most likely raise another level
i was doing some 30 levels of summet for the chest so i did it on normal and i like the chatterbox
i did my bleed at the same time what is said to be the best gun for normal?
just fun or gimmic that just makes it cool
It's talent works great at lower difficulties
Uhh I just came up with my literally most cursed exotic idea yet
